I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

It was escorted by eight military vehicles at the front and rear, with three heavy transport vehicles in the middle. The most eye-catching vehicle was the lead truck, which hovered in the air and glided smoothly and silently across the rough temporary road.

"They've arrived," Lin Dao said with a smile.

The convoy stopped outside the building.

Two familiar faces from the forest road stepped out of the first car: Ye Aiguo and an elderly man with white hair, who was in good spirits and often discussed related technologies with me via video chat.

"Mr. Lin!" Ye Aiguo saluted and then stepped aside to introduce, "This is Academician Deng Yaoxian, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is the chief person in charge of the 'Source of the City' project."

Before the introduction was even finished, Academician Deng Yaoxian excitedly stepped forward and tightly grasped Lin Dao's hand, his eyes shining with an almost fanatical light.

"Mr. Lin! Finally... finally we delivered 'it' safely! This is more than just a piece of equipment; it's the closest we and my team, our generation of researchers, have ever come to the 'future' and the 'miracle' in our lifetime!"

"Without the theoretical foundation and key material synthesis pathways you provided, all of this would be castles in the air! Please allow me, on behalf of all participants, to express our highest respect and gratitude to you!"

Lin Dao squeezed the old man's hand back, and could feel the surging emotions contained in the slight tremor.

"Professor Deng, you flatter me. Blueprints are static; it is your hard work, wisdom, and sweat, along with those of countless researchers, that transforms them from paper into reality. I am the one who should be expressing my gratitude."

The greetings were brief, and everyone understood the extraordinary significance and urgency of the items brought on this trip.

Under tight security, Lin Dao, Academician Deng, Ye Aiguo, and a carefully selected research team escorted the hovercraft carrying the core cargo into the interior of the alloy cylindrical building.

The cargo compartment of the hovercar slowly opened, revealing its multi-layered protective structure.

Everyone held their breath as the last hydraulic door rose.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful device.

Its compact shape resembles a futuristic engine, with an outer shell made of a flowing alloy derived from architecture. Through some observation windows, one can see a halo of light, as if miniaturizing the Milky Way, slowly flowing around the core of its intricate internal structure, serene and vast.

Several researchers wearing lightweight assistive exoskeletons stepped forward to begin the final checks before installation.

Academician Deng stroked the inner wall of the cargo hold and said with emotion, "Thanks to the exoskeleton technology you provided, even 'scholars' like us can become 'strongmen,' greatly reducing the risks of the precision installation process."

"Unfortunately, the current cost is too high, so all the mass-produced ones are here."

"This first experimental hovercar was also requisitioned to perform this highest-level transportation mission."

"The good news is that we have mastered the underlying technology of hovercraft and will soon transfer it to relevant car companies in an orderly manner."

Lin Dao nodded, his gaze never leaving the "miniature galaxy": "'City-level Fusion Coordination Energy Source'... This is the beating heart of Xinyuan City, and the starting point for many future imaginations."

"Is this the only one that has been successfully manufactured so far?"

When Lin Dao submitted this ultimate technical blueprint that had exhausted all his points, the shock it caused was unprecedented.

After the highest level of review, all objections were overwhelmed by the grand vision it painted. Even though Lin Dao explicitly demanded that this first "heart," which embodied countless cutting-edge resources and wisdom, must be used in Xinyuan City to verify its concept, the decision-makers agreed without hesitation.

Academician Deng's expression became extremely serious and proud: "Yes, the only 'standard grade' one."

"Mr. Lin, what you brought is not just blueprints, but also the opening of a door that we could only look up to before."

"With it, the energy bottleneck of space carriers, the sustained driving force for deep space exploration, and even the reshaping of the national energy structure... all have a solid foundation."

"This energy source can not only provide ample clean energy for the entire New Edge City, but its built-in 'Synergy Amplifier' can also absorb and convert free natural energy in the environment (including the energy released from some Pokémon moves) when necessary, forming an emergency protective field covering the entire area."

"Of course, its core vacuum zero-point energy extraction device serves as a final safety net. Once activated and depleted, the entire unit will permanently decay and fail."

"According to the plan, after the energy source is activated, we need to build multiple distributed charging stations in the city to ensure sufficient energy."

"How long will it take to rebuild one?" Lin asked.

Academician Deng shook his head, then nodded: "Materials are the biggest limitation."

"To manufacture it, we almost exhausted all the reserves of several special elements and synthetic crystals that we could obtain through secret channels around the world."

"The remaining rare materials are only enough to manufacture one more small 'experimental' energy source with an output power of about one-tenth." "Right now, the various departments are practically fighting tooth and nail over who will own this 'miniature heart'."

He then changed the subject, his eyes filled with hope, "But our analysis suggests that as the two worlds merge more deeply, the ecological changes and special mineral formations brought about by Pokémon will likely lead to the discovery of alternatives or new mineral veins for these currently extremely scarce materials." "The birth of the next 'Standard' Pokémon isn't too far off."

The installation process was solemn and efficient. When the last interface was locked, all parameters on the testing instruments turned from red to green, and a deep, steady hum echoed from inside the luminous alloy building, everyone held their breath.

Immediately afterwards, the pipeline network buried under the city’s foundation seemed to be infused with life, lighting up one after another, and the “pulse” of energy flowed outward quietly along the preset path.

Stepping out of the "heart" building, Ye Aiguo reported to Lin Dao: "Mr. Lin, the first batch of one thousand 'intelligent construction modules' produced according to the blueprints has been delivered to the designated warehouse. The remaining nine thousand will all arrive within seven days."

Lin Dao inspected the first batch of units, those silver-gray cubes lying quietly on a specially made shelf.

He turned to the project manager who had been following him and gave him the brightest smile he had shown in days:

"Notify everyone to prepare for the groundbreaking ceremony."

"New Yuan City is about to truly begin to 'grow'."

The ceremony was held on a reserved site in the future central square, in a simple yet solemn manner.

There was no lavish stage or lengthy lecture hall, only solid ground, fluttering flags, and a dense crowd below the stage—builders, researchers, government representatives, and media who had come to hear the news.

And... the Pokémon standing to the side or behind the crowd or on nearby high ground, watching curiously.

A hog, a startled deer, and a few boobies perched on a makeshift shelf, and even on a distant rock face, the silent figure of a rumbler could be vaguely seen.
